Hmmm...he's 6'2 and 312lbs. Had good stats in college until his "charactor problems" got in the way. Why not give the kid try. Worse comes to worse we dump him. It ain't like he's costing us a fortune and who knows? Marinelle may make pro-bowler of him. Just look at Selvie, he's having a pro-bowl year.

The Cowboys thought of Marvin Austin as a 4-3 defensive lineman when he was in the draft two years ago, so they stayed away from him because they were playing a 3-4. But now that they’re a 4-3 team, they decided to take a look at the former second-round pick, signing him Monday after a workout. ...

Receiver Miles Austin returned two games ago from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss two games. He has not had a catch since his return and only played in 37 of 77 possible snaps against the Eagles Sunday. Coach Jason Garrett said Austin, who was held out of practice last Thursday and F...

Two Texas football legends died in the last three days. Former Houstin Oilers coach Bum Phillips passed away on Friday. He was followed on Monday by his former boss Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams, who died at his home in Houston at the age of 90. Adams, who was one of the pioneeers of the old ...

Cowboys defensive end Anthony Spencer is further from returning to the starting lineup than he was last week. Spencer, who played 34 snaps in the loss to the Chiefs, was inactive for Sunday’s game against the Rams. “We thought during the week it didn’t look like he’d be able to go this week,” Cow...

The Cowboys kept six safeties because two of them, Danny McCray and Eric Frampton, are so good at special teams, coach Jason Garrett ssaid. Never mind that both are injured right now, and that McCray took a pay cut to stay on the roster. The Cowboys wanted them both, Garrett said. “Danny McCray ...

Sean Lissemore signed a three-year contract extension with the Cowboys last September with thoughts of being a part of the team's future. But that was before the Cowboys switched from 3-4 to the 4-3 defense in the off season. Now, he's a member of the San Diego Chargers after the Cowboys traded...

Read between the lines folks...Ratliff's over and done. Instead of PUP he should be cut and gone. His stats have decline steadily over the last 5 years. He's not going to play at a high level when and if he returns. He will be just another journeyman..

Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff finally broke his silence regarding the groin and hamstring injuries that have landed him on the Physically Unable to Perform list, sidelining him for at least the first six games of the season. Ratliff, 32, said he's extremely disappointed in the setbacks in...

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally admitted the obvious Tuesday when he confirmed on his radio show that defensive tackle Jay Ratliff could start the season on the physically unable to perform list, sidelining him for the first six games of the season. Ratliff has been sidelined since the start o...

Rookie safety Jeff Heath put a charge into AT&T Stadium with his hit on Bengals receiver Cobi Hamilton, knocking the ball loose for one of the Cowboys’ four takeaways in the preseason game Saturday night. The fans liked the hit. But the play also highlighted both Heath’s rise from the bottom of ...

DeMarco Murray admits he was frustrated, but he understands exactly why he was benched soon after his first-quarter fumble Saturday. Murray talked Monday, the first time he has addressed his brief benching. "We know how important the ball is," Murray said. "I think there’s different approaches ...

Cole Beasley returned to practice Monday, wishing there were more preseason games so he could make his case like last year. “I definitely don’t feel like I got enough work,” the second-year receiver said. “It’s four games for a reason, or I guess, five this preseason. I definitely feel like I wa...

As much as Cowboys fans might want Alex Tanney as the backup to Tony Romo, that role again will go to Kyle Orton. The Cowboys signed the veteran quarterback to a three-year, $10.5 million deal, with $5 million to sign, last year. Despite Orton's struggles Saturday against the Cardinals, the Cow...

Canton, Ohio _ Larry Allen became the fourth Cowboys player drafted since owner Jerry Jones bought to the team in 1989 to be inducted into the Pro Football of Fame, joining Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. Add in Deion Sanders and five players who have played during Jones reign as ow...

Yeah, Yeah, talk up Tanner all you want but he's gone after training camp. Kendial Lawrence is probably practice squad material. Murray, Randall and Dunbar will be the RB's. Right now our biggest concern should be the #2 QB. Orton is a game loser. Repeat, ORTON is a game loser. He's lost with every team he's played for. We need a quality back up ASAP.

After not making much of a splash in the first week of training camp, rookie running back Joseph Randle popped up a bit in Sunday’s scrimmage. He made some strong runs into the middle of the line, and he had a breakaway run late. “I thought it was good,” coach Jason Garrett said of the performan...

Why bring in these two bums to be camp fodder when they could have used the roster spots to bring in a couple of the vets who were cut at a decent price? Anderson and Abraham come to mind. Crawford is out for the year and the others on the roster are 3 string backups at best. Why wait? Better pick one or both of them up now before injuries cause someone else to beat us to them.

The Cowboys added a pair of defensive linemen to help them get through while they are short-handed because of injuries to Anthony Spencer, Jay Ratliff, Tyrone Crawford and Ike Igbinosun. Defensive tackle Landon Cohen and defensive end George Selvie were signed, and receiver Lavasier Tuinei was r...

The Dallas Cowboys have three open roster spots heading into the start of training camp this weekend after releasing tackle J.B. Shugarts and quarterback Dalton Williams on Wednesday. The Cowboys already had one open spot following last week's release of fullback Lawrence Vickers. The number is ...

Are you serious?? Resigning Eric Frampton is D-U-M-B dumb. He was released for a reason...He sucked last year. Better they attempted to sign free agent OT Jared Gaither. He'd be an instant upgrade to Free and he can also play LT if Smith goes down. As it is Free is the only backup to Smith on the Roster.

The Cowboys signed safety Eric Frampton on Wednesday. To make room for Frampton, Dallas waived/injured defensive tackle Robert Callaway. Frampton appeared in 13 games with two starts last season for the Cowboys. For his career, he has played 89 games, including two starts, and recorded 25 tackle...

Stephen you're just as moronic as your daddy. Felix was a bust and don't tell me you don't have any regrets about not signing Johnson, Rice, Charles, or Forte when we could have had them. They did more in one year than Felix did in 5.

Former Cowboys running Felix Jones, who signed with the Eagles on Tuesday, was a disappointment as a first-round pick based on starts, production and impact. Yet Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones refuses to call him a bust and says he has no regrets about Felix Jones' time in Dallas. “The gu...

Your parents are right B.J. It is graduation before football. What you learn stays with you all of your life. Football only lasts a short time. Far too many college players go for the gold (the money) and forget to complete their education. When you walk up on that stage and get your sheepskin be sure to stand tall and proud.

Rookie cornerback B.W. Webb has been one of the more impressive players in the Cowboys’ rookie minicamp so far. But the fourth-round pick, who is expected to compete with Orlando Scandrick for the starting spot at nickel cornerback, will miss the final day of camp on Sunday to return to William ...

Doug Free might be back. He might not be. He might take a pay cut. He might not. The right tackle offered little of substance about his future Wednesday at The Ballpark in Arlington during the Cowboys’ charity fund raiser benefitting The Salvation Army. “Really nothing to talk about right now,” F...

DeMarco Murray said he understands the Cowboys might want to use two running backs, but he’s used to that. He said he’s never been a “true starter,” either with the Cowboys or in college at Oklahoma. “I’ve started, but Felix was always here, and things like that, so I’m excited for the new kid,”...

The Cowboys signed free-agent quarterback Aaron Corp on Tuesday. Corp signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Richmond in 2012. He was released on May 14, 2012, and remained out of football until re-signing with Buffalo on Feb. 14. The Bills released him again on A...

The Cowboys have invited to Texas Tech receiver Darrin Moore and Houston linebacker Everett Daniels to participate in this weekend's minicamp on a tryout basis, per their agent Garriett Blair. They will join the seven 2013 draft picks, the signed undrafted free agents as well as a select group ...

Clarence Hill Almost a week later, the decisions the Cowboys made in the first round of the NFL Draft remains puzzling, even troubling, to those inside and outside the Cowboys organization. It still is a sore subject among scouts, according to a source. Call them mess ups 1 and 1A. The decisio...

Alright, enough harpin' on the draft. It's over and done with. Now lets concentrate on what to do with Free. Keep him as a guard or cut him. We need a RT and that position was not addressed with the draft so I'm hoping you have a plan for either a free agent or off waivers.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones agrees that the Cowboys trade down frequently in the first round of the NFL draft. But trading down is not a cause for celebration. “Everybody thinks we’re, ‘Oh, my god, we get to make a trade, let’s just move down,’ ” he said last weekend after the second ...
